In a standard television set, the screen height is 0.75 times the screen width. If a television set measures 34 inches along the
S_A_V [24]
We can solve this by using the  P<span>ythagorean theorem which is below:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Or we can say
</span>w^2 + h^2 = d^2
<span>w = widht
h = height
d = diagonal measure


With that said, we know the height is .75 times the width so .75w. We also know d = 34, which is our diagonal measure.
w = don't know yet but need to find
h = .75w
d = 34
Now lets plugin the information we know into our equation

</span>w^2 + h^2 = d^2
w^2 + (.75w)^2 = 34^2
Now lets to the math
w^2 + (.75w)^2 = 34^2
w^2 + (.75w)^2 = 1156
w^2 + .5625w^2 = 1156
Combine like terms
w^2 + .5625w^2 = 1156
1.5625w^2 = 1156
Divide both sides of the equal sign by 1.5625
\frac{1.5625w^2}{1.5625} = \frac{1156}{1.5625}
w^2 = 739.84
Now take the square root on both sides of the equal sign
\sqrt{w^2} = \sqrt{739.84}
w = 27.2

So the width is 27.2
We can check this by putting 27.2 back into our original equation
w^2 + (.75w)^2 = 34^2
27.2^2 + (.75\times 27.2)^2 = 34^2

Given that −4i is a zero, factor the following polynomial function completely. Use the Conjugate Roots Theorem, if applicable. f
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\sf \bf \ \ f(x)=(x-4i)(x+4i)(x+3)(x-5) \ \ }

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, the Conjugate Roots Theorem states that if a complex number is a zero of real polynomial its conjugate is a zero too. It means that (x-4i)(x+4i) are factors of f(x).

\text{Meaning that } (x-4i)(x+4i) =x^2-(4i)^2=x^2+16 \text{ is a factor of f(x).}

The coefficient of the leading term is 1 and the constant term is -240 = 16 * (-15), so we a re looking for a real number such that.

f(x)=x^4-2x^3+x^2-32x-240\\\\ =(x^2+16)(x^2+ax-15)\\\\ =x^4+ax^3-15x^2+16x^2+16ax-240

We identify the coefficients for the like terms, it comes

a = -2 and 16a = -32 (which is equivalent). So, we can write in \mathbb{R}.

\\f(x)=(x^2+16)(x^2-2x-15)

The sum of the zeroes is 2=5-3 and their product is -15=-3*5, so we can factorise by (x-5)(x+3), which gives.

f(x)=(x^2+16)(x^2-2x-15)\\\\=(x^2+16)(x^2+3x-5x-15)\\\\=(x^2+16)(x(x+3)-5(x+3))\\\\=\boxed{(x^2+16)(x+3)(x-5)}

And we can write in \mathbb{C}

f(x)=\boxed{(x-4i)(x+4i)(x+3)(x-5)}

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.

Thank you

Which number line shows the solution to<br> 11x + 14 &lt; –8?
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

11x + 14 < -8

Cancel the addition by subtracting

11x + 14 - 14 < -8 - 14

11x < -22

11x / 11 < -22/11

x < -2

Therefore, the answer is D
